The HKVOR adventure began in September 2020 when Olivier, a passionate podiatrist and the current CEO of HKVOR, explored innovative methods to valorize waste from podiatric care. From this vision, HKVOR was born with the ambition to transform bio-waste into valuable resources. HKVOR is committed to developing sustainable solutions that address current ecological challenges. Our goal is to become a reference in bio-waste valorization and to set new standards in the industry.
